K-Love radio network's first station
was KCLB, licenced to Santa Rosa, Ca.

This is the station that started me in the
radio business. I was only 13 years old at the time. Electronics
was a hobby of mine at the time. So, when the church I attended
at the time decided to build a radio station, I got envolved.

This is a custom made mixing console I designed
and built for the production studio.

All radio stations experience technical problems
at one time or another. But, a major brush fire on the mountain
tops can be devistating. As we got reports of a fire, we could
only wait and see what happened. The fire finally reached the
site and the station went off the air.

After we were able to go to the site, we were
thinking, "Maybe the exciter is still intact and we can get
something on the air...." Well, when we arrived we saw what
was left. NOTHING! Lesson learned... use cement block
construction for your transmitter site building.

The only thing remaining, that was still good,
was a Sears Craftman wrench.
